Abstract Pork represents a major fraction of the meat consumed worldwide but only 30% blood generated in slaughterhouses is re-used as raw material for food and feed. Innovative technologies efficient processing strategies capable generating added-value products from it are now attracting attention. In this study, hydrolysis porcine coagulated using sub-critical solvent extraction was investiga...

Graded activity of the DPP signaling pathway is critical for specification of dorsal embryonic cell fates in Drosophila. We present evidence that a second BMP ligand, SCW, potentiates DPP activity. Using dominant-negative forms of the type I receptors SAX and TKV, we demonstrate that SAX mediates the SCW signal, while TKV is required for both DPP and SCW activity. We find that while DPP/TKV sig...

We report the results of treating a dense, chemically produced silver colloidal suspension with high-power laser pulses and with exposure to supercritical water (SCW) conditions. The initial colloid has a mean particle diameter measured by transmission electron microscopy to be 28.4 nm and exhibits a broad absorption band in the visible region with a small maximum near 420 nm. Both treatments r...

Secondary cell walls (SCWs) have critical functional importance but also constitute a high proportion of the plant biomass and have high application potential. This is true mainly for the lignocellulosic constituents of the SCWs in xylem vessels and fibres, which form a structured layer between the plasma membrane and the primary cell wall (PCW). Specific patterning of the SCW thickenings contr...

Propylene glycol monomethyl ether acetate (PGMEA) photoresist solvent and monoaromatics are typical organic pollutants found in the wastewater discharged from semiconductor manufacturing processes. Conventional treatment technologies, however, remain mostly ineffective to eliminate these aqueous streams. Herein, we developed a novel strategy for highly efficient degradation of PGMEA archetypal ...

Inbred Lewis (LEW/N) female rats develop an arthritis in response to group A streptococcal cell wall peptidoglycan polysaccharide (SCW), which mimics human rheumatoid arthritis. Histocompatible Fischer (F344/N) rats do not develop arthritis in response to the same SCW stimulus. To evaluate this difference in inflammatory reactivity, we examined the function of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal...

A sustainable and effective method for de-oxygenation of few-layer graphene oxide (FLGO) by glycerol gasification in supercritical water (SCW) is described. In this manner, reduction of FLGO and valorization of glycerol, in turn catalyzed by FLGO, are achieved simultaneously. The addition of glycerol enhanced FLGO oxygen removal by up to 59% due to the in situ hydrogen generation as compared to...

The surface cold working (SCW) of austenitic stainless steel (SS) causes martensitic transformation in the layers, and percentage fraction strain-induced martensite depends on degree SCW. Higher content α′−martensite increases micro-hardness fatigue strength, but deterioration corrosion resistance is possible. Therefore, desired operational behaviour SS can be ensured by corresponding SCW heat ...

The fact that the deep-ocean benthic δ13C minimum shifted from the North Pacific to the South Atlantic during the Last Glacial Maximum is often interpretted as evidence of a change in deep water circulation, such as the development of deep water ventilation in the North Pacific or a decrease in Southern Ocean overturning. This study reevaluates the implications of changes in benthic δ13C gradie...
